Even very early

The internet is still glitchy and not wanting to transition smoothly from page to page. Yesterday it seemed to be a connectivity problem. Today I suspect that there are just too many people online, because they are all staying home. None of the lights on my router/modem are flashing. That is how I know it is not connectivity. They are all steady on. I wanted to get here early, because I was slow about yesterday. I will have two zooms today, and possibly will mow some. We got some soil for me to turn into container gardens for the ne plants I got. I hope your connection goes smoothly all day.

Internet is saturated by all those who are doing video conferencing, zooms and so on. I hope that the big servers will not crash, we will be all without Internet. Total peace finally and no more panic being inundated by too many news.

I would learn to be without internet again. Hubby would not be able to get any television and would be bored until the library opens back up. We would then have a very quiet house.

@TheHorse I would take more care of my garden and I will accelerate the clearing of shelves and cabinets. I had the habit to stay without Internet several days when I visited my mom in Milan, I can live without Internet.

I also hope that the main servers do not crash. But, looked at differently, my life would be no different than it is when it is when I visit Montana. I would read more, practice my instruments more, find some more projects to do, and take more hikes.

@TheHorse Cell phone. Our internet is through Sprint phone service.

@wolfgirl569 Wind seems to mess mine up and it is not through a cell phone carrier. We are just in an obscure little corner of the world.

So far (fingers crossed) I haven't had any trouble with Spectrum. If it does disconnect, our TMobile picks up the Internet.

I seem to be in an internet pocket of disconnection. Blame it on the rough and rocky terrain.

@GardenGerty That could very well be the cause of it. Do you have problems with your phone too?

yeah, ive had some connection issues too, this really should be a hard proof of why net should be a utility

I think some of my problem is geography. Part of my problem is also directly with the myLot servers.

My husband is on a FaceTime conference call with three other people right now, and I was afraid they wouldn't be able to have it due to everyone online now. It gets frustrating when it happens.

I had one day when my webinar and my staff meeting both kept wavering in and out.

@GardenGerty I think the internet is entirely on overload now.

When I come back to myLot after being away, the site goes haywire but maybe that's just the site playing up.

@GardenGerty Such problems get very 'old' very quickly.

I did not get it done. I brought my plants in one more time due to high cold winds.

It's been taking me two or three refreshes to get to MyLot, and the other day a couple of other sited were glitchy. Maybe Comcast and AT&T are simply overloaded.

I do not have either of those carriers and I have lost count of how many tries it takes me to get in now.

Yes, tech cannot handle all this extra pressure during this time. Just another consequence of this lockdown.

Mine seems to be a combo of extra users and funky weather.
